MacBook Pro boot freeze after battery replacement
My MacBook Pro (mid 2010) battery died a couple of weeks ago. I was planning to give it away, so wiped the hard disk and tried to re-install the os (without a battery). Could not complete the process as MBP would shut down as soon as installation starts. I replaced the battery, since then it fails to boot into recovery. It freezes halfway into the boot. I tried the following options
- Tried to boot from USB
- Reset SMC
- Reset PRAM + NVRAM
- Internet recovery : fails with 3403F message
- Run health check, also internet health check : failed
- Verbose mode: freezes after this message "NVDANV50HAL loaded and registered"
- Safemode : failed
Any help out there?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
